Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚜

Buriram Countryside

Clear views of the flat terrain surrounding BFV airport, showing local farming life and small reservoirs.

🏔️

Dong Phayayen Range

Dramatic views of the rugged mountain peaks that separate the northeast plateau from the central valley.

🌊

Lam Takhong Reservoir

A stunning turquoise water body nestled between hills, often accompanied by views of the giant wind turbines nearby.

🧱

Saraburi Limestone Quarries

Enormous white open-pit mines that look like giant craters, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding green hills.

🏢

Greater Bangkok Skyline

A sweeping view of the urban sprawl and high-rises of Bangkok as the aircraft turns for its final approach sequence.

The right side is best for afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, illuminating the mountains and reservoirs perfectly. Look for the massive wind turbines on the hills near Lam Takhong; they are a major landmark on this route. Sit away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Saraburi industrial geography.

🌾

Isan Agricultural Grids

Vast expanses of rice paddies and rural villages characteristic of the Lower Isan region.

🌳

Khao Yai Southern Edge

Views of the dense forest canopy of Thailand's oldest national park as the flight crosses the mountain range.

💧

Pasak Jolasid Dam

Depending on the specific flight path, the southern tip of this massive reservoir may be visible.

🏙️

Pathum Thani Suburbs

The transition from rural farmland to the dense residential developments of the northern Bangkok metro area.

⛳

Kantarat Golf Club

On final approach to DMK, the unique golf course situated right between the two runways is clearly visible.

Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for the intricate network of irrigation canals (klongs) that define the central Thai plains during the descent. During the rainy season (June-October), the landscape is a vibrant, lush green.
